msxml3.dll error '80072efd' Error in ASP

hi,

I am posting data from asp page to another system thru XMLHTTP parameters. I am getting the following error

msxml3.dll error '80072efd'
A connection with the server could not be established


Following is the sample code.

set xmlhttp = server.CreateObject("MSXML2.SERVERXMLHTTP")

lstrUrl = "http://<ipaddress>/wappush/"

xmlhttp.Open "GET",lstrUrl,false
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "login","aaa"
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "password","bbbb"

xmlhttp.send ""


Can any help me about the problem.

Thanks

 

Make sure that the URL is actually reachable. You may have spelled the domain name wrong, or the site may actually be down.

Test using a browser from that machine, or simply running a tracert / ping. Note that ping won't always return results, because many sites block all such traffic (mainly to help eliminate DOS attacks). However, ping should at least let you know the IP address, which means that the domain name was resolved correctly through DNS. Otherwise, it might be that your DNS server is preventing connection.

 

The answer above is correct, and deserves reputation for it.
